Peripheral blood cells inform on the presence of breast cancer: A population‐based case–control study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-06-14)Tumor–host interactions extend beyond the local microenvironment and cancer development largely depends on the ability of malignant cells to hijack and exploit the normal physiological processes of the host. Here, we established that many genes within peripheral blood cells show differential expression when an untreated breast cancer (BC) is present, and harnessed this fact to construct a 50-gene ... -
Effect of caudal epidural steroid or saline injection in chronic lumbar radiculopathy: multicentre, blinded, randomised controlled trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)Objective To assess the efficacy of caudal epidural steroid or saline injection in chronic lumbar radiculopathy in the short (6 weeks), intermediate (12 weeks), and long term (52 weeks).<p> <p>Design Multicentre, blinded, randomised controlled trial. <p>Setting Outpatient multidisciplinary back clinics of five Norwegian hospitals. <p>Participants Between October 2005 and February 2009, 461 ... -
Combining education and income into a socioeconomic position score for use in studies of health inequalities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-13)Background: In studies of social inequalities in health, there is no consensus on the best measure of socioeconomic position (SEP). Moreover, subjective indicators are increasingly used to measure SEP. The aim of this paper was to develop a composite score for SEP based on weighted combinations of education and income in estimating subjective SEP, and examine how this score performs in predicting ... -

Impact of introducing capacity-based mental health legislation on the use of community treatment orders in Norway: case registry study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-07)Background<p> <p>In 2017, a capacity-based criterion was added to the Norwegian Mental Health Act, stating that those with capacity to consent to treatment cannot be subjected to involuntary care unless there is risk to themselves or others. This was expected to reduce incidence and prevalence rates, and the duration of episodes of involuntary care, in particular regarding community treatment orders ... -
